It is February 17th and that means it is now Nii-san’s birthday! Read on to help us celebrate.

It was five years ago to this day that the KAITO Vocaloid hit the market, developed from the voice of Fuuga Naoto and illustrated by Kawasaki Takashi. Unfortunately, he hit the market with little success, selling only around five hundred copies. Considered a failure by the general public, it was only after the release of the Vocaloid2 engine and Hatsune Miku that KAITO saw a raise in fame (while often times being the butt of jokes due to his earlier failure). But now he has found his place in the Vocaloid world, never to be found without his precious Häagen-Dazs ice cream.

Last year showed KAITO gaining more fans and the next year looks to be able to grab even more. We here at Vocaloidism eagerly await to bring you the latest news on everyone’s favorite blue haired ice cream eating Vocaloid and we hope you have enjoyed the past five years of KAITO goodness!
